The old battery blew up, so now I have to clean that up and fill in some holes and new paint.

Looks good man. That, along with the fuel line relocation(Speed Inc makes a kit for that btw.), is on my list for this summer.

Sharp car too.

You could take it a step further and take the little red + box, flip it upside down and mount it under the hood bump stop. Yours looks a little different than mine, I've got a 94 but I bet you could make it fit. I didnt drill any holes or anything, just clip it in to the pre-drilled holes. I've also heard of people relocating the ground wires to the fender well with the other wires. Looks great tho, did you find a write up, or just go for it?

I moved the one on our 97 WS6 down beside the battery so you cant see it at all. The wires were all long enough. I also moved the grounds down there to...so there are no wires at all on the fender.
